*Summary of Talk: *The impacts of climate change are now widespread, and
societies around the world are increasingly preparing for shocks to
economies, health, well-being, and beyond. Dr. Katharine Mach will present
research from the climate risks and preparedness group focused on ongoing
investments to safeguard societies. This work integrates understanding of
the complex, cascading climate risks now occurring, from nuisance floods to
disasters. It critically assesses policies and actions to support vibrant,
resilient pathways into the future.

Through innovative approaches to integrating evidence, Mach's research
informs effective and equitable adaptations to climate risks. She is the
2020 recipient of the Piers Sellers Prize for world-leading contribution to
solution-focused climate research. From 2010 until 2015, Mach co-directed
the scientific activities of Working Group II of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change. The associated global scientific collaborations
have supported diverse climate policies and actions, including the Paris
Agreement. Mach is now a lead author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.
Across all of her research projects, Mach engages in relevant policy
processes, and she frequently discusses climate change risk and adaptation
with the media, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and
communities.
